iPad Optimized User Interface for SiteFX

Project Description:

In 2012 the Denmark companies Grontmij and COWI undertook a large PCB Sampling Program for the country of Denmark. A component of the work involved having 25 staff in the field collecting samples over the course of 1 to 2 years. In addition to sample collection, sample locations had to be captured by photograph. It was determine that a system that allowed the main office to be synchronized with the field staff at all times would be ideal.

Objective:

Create a fool-proof mobile solution for the field staff while still allow the main office staff the full capabilities to manage the sampling program and subsequent lab data.

Outcome:

SiteFX was already being utilized at the time and provided much of the functionality. EarthFX developed a web based interface to SiteFX that allowed for a streamlined user experience. All sample collection is synchronized in real-time with the main office. In the end, there is a nice closed loop system that involves the main office scheduling samples, field staff performing the sample collection, and then main office creating chain of custodies and importing lab data.

Conclusion:

To date, the system is used by 35 simultaneous users. 26,000 photos have been taken, 6,000 samples collected, 7,000 checklists completed and 63,000 chemistry results imported. For more information, please contact kelsy@earthfx.com.
